The Verification Code is imprinted on credit cards to help merchants verify transactions when the actual card is not present, such as Internet purchases or donations. The merchant uses this number as part of the authorization process with the card issuer.

Please use the images below to locate the verification code for your card type.

Visa, Master Card, and Discover:

The verification code for Visa, Master Card, and Discover is a 3-digit number printed on the back of your card. It appears after the account number or last 4-digits of your account number, in the signature panel.

American Express:

The American Express verification code is a 4-digit number printed on the front of your card. It appears above and to the right of the embossed account number.

Honoring the Path of the Warrior(HPW) provides returning veterans a safe environment and enables them to rediscover meaning, purpose, and joy in their lives through mindfulness, meditation, and community.

Since 2008, HPW has served hundreds of veterans with programs combining nature, physical activities, mindfulness, Sensory Awareness, and meditation practices to support them in using their own strengths and experiences to find a meaningful and productive path in civilian life.

Our programs include:

7-8 One-Day events per year

A Four-Night River Rafting Retreat

A Five-Day Women Veterans Retreat

A 3-Month Practice Period for Women Veterans

A Pilot Practice Period for Male Veterans

Year-Long Veteran Leadership Program

Your gift of $150 supports one veteran in attending a one-day event;

$1400 will enable one veteran to attend the River Trip;

$1600 will enable one veteran to attend the Women Veterans Retreat;

$2300 will enable one veteran to participate in the Leadership Program, which prepares them to co-facilitate HPW programs as well as programs within their communities.

We hope that you will join us by giving to this important project.
